A judge Friday rejected a motion to dismiss charges against the wife of a former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who prosecutors say helped spend $450,000 in towing fees her husband allegedly stole from La Puente.

The Mercedes Benz, BMW, Hummer, house and $50,000 in vacations former Deputy Joe Dyer bought should have tipped off his wife that her husband had an additional source of income, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Amy Pentz said in court.

Lydia Dyer faces five counts of tax fraud for allegedly not reporting the $450,000 in towing fees prosecutors say her husband stole.

Lydia Dyer’s attorney, Mark Waecker, argued any failure to report income was unintentional, but the judge rejected that contention.
